Statement of the OAS General Secretariat on Bolivia March 17, 2021
Regarding the statement of the Bolivian Foreign Ministry issued yesterday, the General Secretariat of the Organization of American States (OAS) denies its contents and repudiates its repressive and threatening tone, as well as the desire to personalize in Luis Almagro decisions and institutional positions of the General Secretariat.
The General Secretariat reiterates the facts referred to in its statement and reaffirms the recommended courses of action. It reaffirms the need to provide justice and due reparation to the victims and the families of the victims of all acts of violence, human rights violations and crimes against humanity that have occurred in Bolivia from October 2019 onwards.
The pandemic of impunity for human rights violations in Bolivia, which Amnesty International has highlighted for decades, is directly related to concerns about the Bolivian justice system’s lack of independence, which have resurfaced in recent weeks.

Former Bolivian president Jeanine Anez said Sunday she had been sentenced to four months pre-trial detention after she was arrested on charges linked to the ousting of her predecessor Evo Morales in what he claims was a coup d etat.
Anez who was arrested on Saturday on terrorism, sedition and conspiracy charges tweeted as opposition groups called for protests against the moves widely denounced as political score-settling. They are sending me to detention for four months to await a trial for a coup that never happened, she wrote, after hearing the order from Judge Regina Santa Cruz in a virtual hearing.
